Call for 2016 Board Nominations

We are currently accepting applications from members wishing to be considered for the three vacancies on the 2016 ISA Board of Directors.

Our Board consistently aims to find enhanced opportunities for the membership, such as quality educational programming and the overall promotion of the personal property appraisal industry, so that each individual member can benefit professionally and personally from their connection to ISA. A position as Board member comes with responsibility, fantastic leadership opportunities, and direct input into important priorities for the organization.

What does serving the Board entail? 
While the position is a crucial one, the Board meets just four times per year, with two of the sessions in teleconference. Two meetings are in person - one held at the annual conference and the other in the headquarters office in Chicago. Board positions are three-year terms.

Please note: All candidates must currently hold the designation of either ISA AM or ISA CAPP to be considered.

Interested in applying? Please submit all letters of intent (along with your resume) to Jan Durr, ISA CAPP, Nominating Committee Chair, by email at janrobbinsdurr@gmail.com. Kindly include in your application how your accomplishments thus far can best serve the Board and the ISA as a whole. Jan can also be reached by phone at 704.635.7694. The deadline for submission is Friday, June 12.

We look forward to your applications!

5 WEEKS AWAY!

♫Oh the weather outside is frightful, but in April it'll be more delightful, and with only FIVE WEEKS to go, might as well let it snow let it snow let it snow♫

Thankfully, April is usually pretty nice in Chicago. That being said, there are only five weeks until Assets 2013! That means we're really getting into gear for the meeting, but it also means there are some deadlines that could stand to be noted several more times so that nobody misses them.

MARCH 15th
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION

The early bird registration rates will end on Friday, March 15th. After then, registration rates go up by $75, so if you haven't registered yet there is absolutely no time like the present!

MARCH 19th
DISCOUNTED HOTEL RATES

Discounted rates at the JW Marriott Chicago are available until Tuesday, March 19th – room and rate availability cannot be guaranteed after that date.
